The aged millionaire fell PROSTATE on the
stone flags. upturning his agonized white
face at the cold, set countenance of his STEP
son. Not till the last of the five chambers
had been emptied into the old mans BODY
did Lee seem to draw breath.
The crowd seemed rooted to the stones
in horror, and were helpless till police
man came running to the scene. Then
began wild clamor, and Lee, turning to
the officer, hoarsely whispered, Take me
to Jail, quick!" 1t seemed scarcely mo-
ment till the patrol wagon bore him away.
CONDITION OF THE WOUNDED BANKER.
When the dying banker reached his
home six physicians had been called They
probed for the bullets and found that ali
had lodged in his legs or arm, save one that
entered near the small of the back, and, as
nearly as could be judged, had plum ed
through his abdomen. If his life was
saved it would be little short of a miracle

Young Mems ASSIMILATION.

The young men who week before
last met to form themselves into a Club
or Association under the designation
of Y. NJ. G. A, did not complete their
organization until Thursday night last,
when they took the more distinctive
name of the Young Mems Christian
Association, with a more definite aim
and object in view than is the case
with the usual social club.
They propose having four public
meetings each month. The first and
third Thursday nights will be devoted
to religious exercises, and the second
and fourth to debates or other literary
objects. 1t gives us pleasure to thus
note that it is a society whose chief aim
is moral and mental improvement
the highest aim that can engage the
attention of a young man who is look
ing forward to a life of usefulness. 1t
is something that the town has needed.
Too little attention has been given bv
young persons out of school to helpful
reading and learning to think, such as
will be required in the preparation to
discuss a given subject. There is no
better way an evening can be spent
by young men than that of the debat-
ing society, and we hope to see those
engaged in this grow in numbers and
influence.
The officers, as completed, are as
follows: President, T. L. Mason; Vice
President, Edward DefOrd Secretary
Frederick Smith; Treasurer, VIM.
Dunn; Librarian, Edward Phelps.
The officers are elected for six months
They are organized under usual regu-
lations of constitution and bylaws.

"The only remedy for all this" in
Mr.. Georges opinion, lis the adoption
of the Australian system of voting.
Good men of all parties ought to unite
in a demand for this"
The president of the Local Option
and Sabbath League of New York in a
brief circular letter after the election
says:
The election is over and the results
call upon us to thank God and take
courage" for everything really vital to
our cause has been saved, as the party
pledged to Local Option by counties
has secured twenty-One of the thirty
three Senators and seventy-twO of the
128 Assemblymen, making a clear ma
jority Of twenty-seven on joint ballot.
Such a result under all the circum-
stances is wonderful. There was first
of all the Democratic party backed by
the saloons. the personal Liberty
party" with corruption fund of half a
million dollars, and the Prohibition or
Third party better known in the West
as the Democratic Aid Society, mis-
representing everywhere the past action
and present position of the Republican
party, which saved the cause of liberty
in '6l, has saved the American Sabbath
in 'S7, and offered to us Local Option
by counties, which is the best thing
possible in the present stage of the tenn
perance reform.
But while this much has been secured
our work is only just begun, and we
need organization in every town
throughout the State, so that we may
move in a solid phalanx on these two
lines, Local Option by counties and the
preservation of the American Sabbath.

THE effort of the Morning Ne,Cs to
find out the opinion of the members OF
the Legislature in regard to reconven-
ing that body for the purpose of order
ing a new election to vote "for OF
against a convention" shows that they
are practically unanimously opposed
to it. First, that the Senators or a
majority of them did not want it and
would not have voted for the last bill
had they thought the sentiment in its IA
vOr by the people so decided second,
that several of the members have been
appointed to other Offices and thus dis
qualified, and thirdly that a majority
Ofthe voters have expressed themselves
for convention and another ballot for
the same thing would be work of sup
ererOgatiOn.

Knotty Law Case.

The case which came up at the ses-
sion of court last Spring but deferred
until the fall term was one wherein
VIM. b. Hall brought suit to recover
his claim against W. F. Jefferson the for.
mer proprietor of the Delaware House
from the proceeds of the sale of the
property held by the Sheriff, which he
levied on and sold as the property of
Jefferson q Clayton, and held to nav
their cOpartnership liabilities. A secret
copartnership, it appears existed be-
tween the two men though running
otherwise as individual enterprises. adj
vertising their business, and purchas-
ing as such. Mr., Hall sold goods ia
Mr.. Jefferson with no other knowledge
than that he was doing business alone,
and when it become necessary to take
action to protect himself from loss,
brought suit against him individually.
Others, especially certain liquor deal
ers, brought their suit against the firm
(of whose copartnership they had
knowledge and thus the fight between
the creditors was a new and interest
ing one.
Mr., Smithers for the plaintiff laid
down the law in relation to individual
and cOpartnership business with unus-
ual force and clearness. The other
lawyers occupied the day, and the fol-
lowing morning the court rendered
their decision in favor of the plaintiff
Mr.. Hall received $4,000 of the pro.

House, and VanGasken & Cats, about

ITS ANNUAL MEETING AT SMYRNA

ITS ANNUAL MEETING AT SMYRNA.
The annual meeting of 1.-THE Della
ware ana Peninsula homeopathic
Medical Society" met in the parlors of
the Delaware House. last Thursday
November 10th. DR.. J. G. Dawson, of
Milford, Della, President Of the Society
called the meeting to order at ! ! o'clock
A. NJ. After reading of minutes of last
meeting which were approved, the roll
of members was called and responded
to by sixteen present after which the
President delivered his address, which
was brief but with many suggestions
for our future improvement and
growth. One especial thought was
that the new school might be represent
ed in the boards Of health of the State.
and a committee on legislation was an.
pointed with power to secure the ser
vices of an attorney, that Homeopathy
may have equal and fair legislation in
the State of Delaware.
Drs. L. @. Clement, of Dover. z. F.
Negendank, Of Wilmington, and T. c..
Moore, of this town, were reported bv
the board of censors favorable for mem.
bership and were duly elected and re-
ceived as members.
Next in order was the election of off,
GERS for the current year which resulted
as follows: President, DIR. Peter Coop
er, Wilmington; Vice president, DR..
E. S. Anderson, Dover; Secretary.
DIR. 1. NJ. Finn, Newport Correspon-
ding Secretary, DIR. Il. K. COlley, Cen.
treville, Md; Treasurer, DIR. A. f,
Frantz, Wilmington.
For delegates to the American lnsti-
tute of Homeopathy which meets at
Niagara Falls, in June 1888, DIR. J. Paul
Lukens, of Wilmington, and DR.. r. X.
COlley, ofCentreville, Md. were chosen,
and Drs. L. w. Finn and A. +. Frantz.
of Wilmington were elected alternates.
While attending to routine business,
Proprietor Fell, of the Delaware House
announced dinner ready. The Society
adjourned to the dining room and all
heartily agreed the bounties there in
readiness were equal to the emergency
After dinner the society reassembled
and appointed committee to draft ap-
propriate resolutions on the death of
their associates, DIR. lsasah I4ukins and
III JOSGJll ~. L dubulllt VI w llIulUBlOQ.
A committee of three, Drs. Lukins,
Cooper and Dawson were appointed to
draft a new constitution and bylaw,
and report at the annual meeting.
Papers were next read by Drs. r.
K. Colley, A. Negendank, J. H. Rile,
L. w. Finn, A. E. Frantz and L. A.
Kittinger.
A few doctors were absent on account
of the day being stormy and others be-
cause of professional duties. The
society numbers about thirty members.
Only three or four physicians of the
Peninsula have not joined the Society.
The meeting after a vote of thanks
to Mr.. Fell, proprietor of the Delaware
House for his courtesy and kindness in
providing for the Society's comfort and
enjoyment, adjourned to meet on the
second Thursday of November 1888 in
Wilmington.

Kent County Bible Society.

The Kent County Bible Society met
in annual session at Harrington on
Tuesday November 8th, in the M. r.
Church. The officers were all present.
The meeting was called to order bv the
president, J, F. Stonecipher, of the
Presbyterian Church, Dover. After the
opening exercises, and reading the min
utes of the last meeting, the president
read his annual report, in which he
gave review of the work the Society
had accomplished during the year.
The following extract from the report
of the President will show the work of
the Society:
But now that we have completed
our canvass of the whole county, it NAV
be interesting and profitable to briefly
sum up the work done. There have
been 6,O65 families visited by our agent
"A, 125 were white, and $40 colored
Of these families, $50 were found des-
titute, 262 being white and 1913 col
Ored 2l8 individuals were found des-
titute, 100 white and 100 cOlOred. In
% cases of restitution parties refused to
buy a Bible or accept one by gift. Al
together 1923 Bibles and 100 Tesla
mCnbS WblG aolu Aui hAGlN Aull NHluCg
$132.7O; and 80 Bibles and Testaments
worth $2634, were sold for $1757.
410 Bibles and 90 Testaments, together
worth $15474, were donated. Alto
gether by sale and gift, 1909 books
have been distributed in the county
during the canvass. The total cost Of
these books was $3l378; the total
receipts for them were S150.27, making
the total value of the donations $163.5f.
And if to this we add 1922 for freight
and 1926 for agents salary, we find che
total cost of the canvass has been
S595.73. When we look at this last
item alone, we are perchanee ready to
wonder whether it was wise to spend SO
much money in this work. But let the
restitution which we found and supplied
also be taken into account, and surely
the wisdom of it will appear"
The conclusion of the report of the
Secretary is as follows:

Indges at Court.

The Dover correspondent of Ever,
EUeniBg thus notices an incident in the
closing account of the late court
Court closed Friday evening a three
weeks session, something unusual in
this county. The cost to the county for
jury and bailiff service in the superior
court alone was $725. 36 and good many
voters are going over the list of cases
tried to see whether the amount OF
justice melted out sizes up to the ex-
pense. The criminal court list has al
ready been alluded to, where the grand
jury itself presented and deplored the
judicial system which kept "a grand
jurors here sitting ut the expense of a
chicken thief. And the superior court
shows up if anything worse.
"A little episode happened Just before
court adjourned that relieved the
monotony. "Reminiscences have been
filed against the license applications OF
the Lowerys at Milford and the Satter-
fields at Harrington. After holding
the cases under advisement a day after
all other applications of the sort were
acted upon, both the licences were
granted against the protest Of the
chief justice. In the Lowery case
there was a remOnstrance of some 24O
names against the license, and q petit
ton in its favor of 900 names. Judge
Grub in explaining the action OF
himself and Judge Paynter in signing
the license said that if the remon-
strants had come into court and testi-
fed to the charges made In their re-
monstrance he would have attached
more weight to the document. Chief
Justice Comegys said he knew person
ally most of the remonstrants and
could vouch for the fact that If the
charges were not true they would not
have attached their names TO the
paper. In the colloquy which followed
Judge Grubb said that the law gave
him aud Judge Paynter the right to
exercise their own Judgment in this
matter, and they assumed all the re-
spopsibility, The opinion Of the chief
Justice was but his own Considerable
feeling was exhibited by the learned
judges, --Su
